The right shade of orange

[olskooljr]

Im am set to paint my blue 67Camaro this winter and I'm thinking of going with an orange. I'm leaning towards hugger orange, but not sure. I want a deep shade of orange thats not too light. Any suggestions? Pics maybe?

Code 57 Burnt Orange Metallic on my 81 Trans Am, looks like pearl but does not have any
in it.

How about burnt orange?

The orange listed above was my first thought too. There is a color on the '07-'08 Corvettes and HHR that is nice looking. They both have some pearl/metallics in them though. I did see a 71 Camaro up here with the same base color as the vette but without the pearls mixed in and it really looked good. I would think any decent paint shop could mix it without the pearl in it for you.

I've thought about those burnt orange colors. My father has a 65 Buick Riviera for sale that is burnt orange (2000 Prowler Orange) and a 32 Ford Sedan (Hugger Orange). I like the ornage on Andy Kleinsteuber's 69 Camaro. I was told that it was hugger orange.. It must have a few good clear coats. I'm starting to see that just about any color looks good if the styling of the car is right.

I like that orange too. I think I saw a viper that color a few weeks ago.

Is there a name or a specific year for the lamborghini orange you are thinking of? That was actually one that crossed my mind.

Here are some more orange colored cars. Check out the orange chrome paint. Crazy. It's probably not what you are looking for but I thought it would be cool to show you guys.
